ClpXP is the main ATP-dependent proteolytic complex in bacteria, is essential for maintaining cellular protein homeostasis and is also critical for bacterial pathogenesis. Here, the authors establish a functional link between ClpXP and trigger actor, a chaperone involved in the early stages of protein folding.
